Summer’s here, and there’s so much to smile about! But if the condition of your teeth is leaving you feeling insecure or afraid to share that grin with the world, don’t despair! Summertime is also the perfect season for cosmetic dentistry. With more available appointments, less traffic, and more flexibility with your schedule, here are a few perfect treatments to help you improve your smile before the fall rush!

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over your teeth to create a brighter, whiter smile. They can even make minor adjustments to their shape and size. Veneers take about two appointments to install: one to remove a thin layer of enamel and take impressions, and one to attach your new veneers with a durable dental cement. The entire process takes about two weeks and requires no recovery or downtime.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding uses the same composite resin compound used to create tooth-colored fillings. Your dentist can repair damage to chipped, worn, or broken teeth by rebuilding them with this putty-like substance, and then hardening it under a special light. It’s completely pain-free, requires no downtime, and you can chew with your restored teeth immediately after your treatment.

Teeth Whitening

If you’re looking for a fast and easy way to remove years of stains and discoloration from your teeth, professional teeth whitening can help. In a little over an hour, you can lighten them by multiple shades with Zoom! Whitening. The results will last from six months to up to three years with proper oral hygiene, and you can get back to your daily routine immediately following treatment.

Invisalign

Invisalign is more than just a cosmetic treatment: it’s as functional as it is beautiful. Using clear aligners, you can easily correct your bite and create an even, healthy smile without the use of traditional braces. Treatments can take up to two years but can often be completed much sooner, and the results will last a lifetime!

This summer, take control of your smile with the help of cosmetic dentistry, and you could have a dazzling new look just in time for fall!
